ILNP Misbehaving

Like Sunkissed and Someday, Misbehaving was released earlier this month by Nevada-based indie polish maker ILNP as part of the Summer Jellies 2017 collection. This is described as a neon pink holographic polish in ILNP's sheer jelly formula that maximizes light penetration to fire up the holographic components. To my eye, it's a translucent medium-light hot pink with a sweet floral quality and plenty of silvery sparkle in ambient light coming from the holographic flakes within the translucent base. In the sun, the color brightens and takes on a denser look and the holographic flakes explode into a dazzling field of scattered prismatic sparks.

Application was lovely. The consistency of Misbehaving is fluid, light and smooth with a medium viscosity and an easy, self-leveling slip over the nail. Pigmentation is quite sheer, but built to a wearable opacity for me in three generous coats. Cleanup frees up an abundance of holographic flakes, most of which will disappear with a good handwashing. Misbehaving dries naturally in good time to a smooth, fairly shiny finish.

Photos show three coats of Misbehaving over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

This pretty pink strikes me as dainty and floral. It reminds me of pink petunias, especially the ones that have those white throats. 

If you'd like to see how Misbehaving compares to some of ILNP's other bright pinks, Edina of the Hungary-based nail blog lakkomlakkom has a side-by-side comparison photo with Paige and Jello Shot in her review of the Summer Jellies 2017 collection, here.
